Really think I’m going to like this setup. Been trying to find the ultimate bino harness, and I’ve liked a bunch of harnesses but always failed to find a RF setup I really liked.
Then FHF released their Spartan bipod holster a few weeks ago and I had an idea to use their chest rig. I got the chest rig, bino bucket, 5 rifle round holder, and Spartan holster.
When I got it I grabbed a couple spare N2 the Wild lanyards and ran some pieces of Kifaru one wrap through them to help eliminate slop of lanyards filling up the pouch.
Today I got the Kuiu HL RF holder to give the RF its own pouch - it has a Velcro back just like the FHF bino bucket. I easily tucked the lid of the Kuiu RF holder into one of the rear most pockets of the rig. I also got the new FHF E4 pouch today and put it on.
This will be used primarily for whitetail stand hunting but will get its first use on a WY mule deer hunt in a couple weeks. Now have the ability to sit with easy access to binos and RF without messing with any flaps but can also completely enclose them when I want to.
Also no question where my bipod will ride now, super easy and fast access on the bottom of the rig.
I also have quick access to 5 rifle rounds if needed, and have my headlamp, knife, multi tool, and a gun oil wipe in the rig, as well as an open pocket for my phone behind the binos that will stay warm on my chest to help preserve battery life in cold weather. In the E4 pocket I have phone chargers and cords, a lighter, ibuprofen, eye drops, some WySi wipes, and a small stick of sunscreen. And there is plenty of more room both in the rig and and the pocket for a lot more stuff.
I know the first thought is it’s big and bulky - the footprint on my chest is no bigger than my Marsupial small with a separate RF holder, and it sticks out no further than my AGC Kodiak CUB Max.
I do wish the zipper was quieter, but expect it will quieten down with use.
Pictured is all the junk I talked about above, with Zeiss SFL 8x40’s and a Sig Kilo 8K.
